Our Community
The Practical Sustainability Course is delivered by an ever-evolving cracking team of over 40 tutors and practitioners. Who bring with them their passion, expertise, knowledge and pioneering spirit. All tutors apply their knowledge on the ground, so their information is fresh, dynamic and adaptive. They believe in working collaboratively and with and/or for meeting the needs of communities. We visit many of them in their natural environment, so we get to see the successes, challenges and results of their work as we tour their projects.
Our Collaborators
For, and with, the wider network.
We are a nomadic organisation - meaning we don't possess our own premises or land. Therefore our teaching takes place in a variety of locations across communities within Bristol and further afield.
We welcome opportunities to collaborate with land/hub based community partners
